About Roy’s work, author Susie Duncan Sexton (and Roy’s mom!) writes, “Well, Roy blogs fabulously via his ‘Reel Roy Reviews’ … his rapidly expanding collection of fair and honest and loving critiques; each one shines, as gems always do! Reel Roy’s brilliant, witty, reverent love letters — laced with gentle candor — entice me to leave the house, the sole purpose being to either confirm his evaluations or argue with his appraisals the very next time he visits.”

Roy notes, “One of my earliest memories is going to the movies – perhaps Robin and Marian with Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery. I would have been four at the time, and I remember zilch about the film itself other than it contained a lot of British accents and rolling green hills and some anachronistic hair-dos. I haven’t seen it since, but I do recall being comforted by the dark stillness of the theatre itself, transfixed by the colorful flickering and the larger-than-life images and sounds. I suppose I fell in love with the visceral aspects of movie-going then and found my way to appreciate film’s more complex narrative pleasures as I grew older.”
